Calculation Calculation relative to concrete volume Concrete Volume = Length (x) Width (x) Height (m3)
Reduction = Steel Volume (Nearly 0.5% to 2.5%of concrete volume) Addition = Yield Volume (can be find during the Trail mixing test) Addition = 0.25 m3 for pump car wastage

8.

Procedure for concrete work 1). Mix design trial mix Mix proportion of concrete shall be designed for each grade of concrete specified in the technical specification and trial mix shall be carried out for each mix design. (pl . see trail mix Method statement)

a.

b.

Quality of following materials used for concrete shall be checked by testing or manufacturers certificate in order to assure the quality of concrete. Cement Coarse aggregates Fine aggregates Water Admixture Compressive strength test for each trial mix shall be carried out at following curing days. At 7 days At 28 days

c.

Reports of tests mentioned above shall be submitted to Engineer, and each mix design shall be approved by Engineer prior to concrete work.

2). Preparation a. Concreting plan. Method and procedure of concreting shall be planned prior to concrete casting in consideration of following items.(see attached example drawing) Method of casting (pump or crane w/hopper) Layout of pump car & piping, or crane Required concrete volume per hour Casting sequence or layout with quantity Temporary access or platform for concrete place

b.

Following equipment shall be prepared in stand-by condition prior to casting concrete. Pump car & piping , or crane & hopper Vibrator and other tools for concrete compaction Tools for concrete pouting such as hoe/level/bar/ trowel/Power travel machine Level machine & staff Lighting for night time work

c.

Temporary access/plat form for casting concrete shall be provided prior to casting concrete.

d.

Inside form shall be thoroughly cleaned by pressured air prior to casting concrete.
Watering to form surface shall be carried out prior to casting concrete. When using pump car in order to cast concrete, the motor (cement : sand = 1:1) can be used for initial pumping purpose. So we have to prepare that mixture at least in one bags Batching & delivery Ready mix concrete shall be batching plant and delivered to site by truck mixer with delivery sheet. Following items mentioned in delivery sheet shall be checked at site. Time of departure (Concrete shall be cast within three hours after the time of departure) Nominal strength Designed Max . size of coarse aggregate Type of cement

e.

f.

3)

4) a.

Casting Slump test shall be carried out at the commencement of casting and for each 100 m3 of concrete (this volume can varied with specification ).Acceptable slump shall be _+ 2.5 cm of designed slump. Test cube for compressive strength test One set test cubes shall be prepared for each 30 m3 of concrete and at least one set on each day. A set of test cubes shall consist of 9nos. of test cube.(3 nos. For 7 day test , 3 nos. For 28 days test and 3 nos. for form removal)

b.

c.

Pouring & Compaction Pouring shall be carried out by taking care of following items. Concrete shall not be poured from high place that causes segregation .(Height not more than 1.5m ,If exceed put pocket or connect trimly pipe to pump car) Concrete shall not be poured at one place intensively. Concrete shall be poured layer by layer with proper compaction.

d.

Compaction shall be carried out by taking care of following items.

Compaction must be done as concrete placed, Put the poker into the concrete QUICKLY. Take the poker out very SLOWLY otherwise a hole, or weak spot , may be left in the concrete.

Always compact in a definite pattern so the radius of action overlap and covers the whole area of the concrete. The poker should be long enough to reach and enter into the layers of concrete under the one being compacted. Never touch the form with the poker as it can damage the formwork and alignment. Never touch the reinforcement with the poker.

Never spread or move concrete sideways with the poker, always use a shovel. Never leave the poker running when not in use.

For concrete of average workability( i.e.. Slump of 80 mm) with a poker size between 25-75 mm, concrete should usually be vibrated for between 5 and 15 seconds. It worse to UNDER - VIBRATE than to OVERVIBRATE concrete.

e.

Level & Finishing Level of concrete shall be checked by level machine at 2m interval. Surface finishing shall be carried out as per architectural requirement. No final finishing can begin until the bleed water has dried up. Mixing bleed water with the surface paste will weaken it , possibly resulting in a dusty surface. Excess bleed water can be removed by dragging an ordinary garden hose across the surface of the concrete. Never try to dry up the bleed water using stone dust or cement as this will weaken the concrete surface in the long run.

Floating can be done by hand or with a power float.

Submit QA/QC check sheet to main contractor 5) Curing Curing is done just after finishing the concrete surface ,as soon as it will not be damaged. The simplest method of APPLYING WATER is to put a continuous fine, misty spray of water over the concrete . The spray must be a very fine mist or else it will damage the surface of the concrete.

Another way of curing is, cover with PLASTIC SHEET or GUNNEY BAGS to slow down water loss. This method is easy and cheap. The only problem is that the sheets may cause concrete become darker in places. To avoid this keep concrete EVENLY moist. For better strength and durability, cure concrete for 7 DAYS. The concrete is cured LONGER ; it will have its best possible strength and durability. Other method of curing 1) Pounding method 2)Spary waste timber dust and apply water 3)Spary chemicals 6) Compressive strength test One set (3 cubes) shall be tested at 7 days and one set 28 days after casting. Average strength of 3 cubes shall be equal or greater than design strength and individual test result shall be greater than 85% of design strength. Each test report shall be submitted to Engineer.
